I have the same problem, compounded by what I believe is Morton's Neuroma on
my left foot. I've been using the Keen Coronado Cruiser, which is the bike
specific for about a month now. They are kind of heavy for a canvas shoe,
but not too bad. I was still having the extreme foot pain while riding th
Vans. Although no arch support if that's your thing.

hi Bill,
Check out the Keen Coronado. They have a regular (canvas) version and a bike
specific version with a harder toe cap, stiffer sole, and suede-like upper. I
like both and use both when riding, but if you try em the bike specific version
runs a half to a full size small.

I'm riding an Atlantis with grip king pedals-which I really like but
I'm having trouble finding a good shoe that's comfortable. The Adidas
Samba is too narrow for my foot and am getting pain after an hour
riding. If anyone has a medium to wide foot and footwear they really
like, I'd love to hear so

I will be selling this come mid-July, I'm thinking most likely as a

It looks like Bike Tools Etc. carries a couple of hub bearing presses:

Thanks Bill, and I hear ya about north/south. I live in CA., and most
of my rides seem to start southbound. Nothing like like a quick
southern blast to make you feel like a hero...'til you turn around and
